摘要
Basing on theoretical considerations and on physical simulations, a new procedure is proposed to define the location of the electrical junction in pn-junctions by Scanning Capacitance Microscopy and to extract at the same time the related zero-field condition. Applications of this procedure are shown in the case of epitaxial and shallow junctions. (C) 2003 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
